Professor Warren Piers specializes in synthetic mechanistic chemistry, focusing on the applications of electron deficient ‘electrophilic’ compounds, especially in the context of early transition elements and group 13 elements. His laboratory's ongoing research encompasses various projects in Inorganometallic Chemistry, particularly exploring the chemistry of compounds that feature transition metal bonds with heavy main group elements. This area is rapidly evolving and utilizes these compounds as molecular precursors for advanced materials. Another significant avenue of his research pertains to Ziegler-Natta Olefin Polymerization, which centers on developing a new generation of soluble Ziegler-Natta type catalysts crucial for polyolefin production. Additionally, his work includes the use of extremely Lewis acidic boranes in organic synthesis, which are applied in catalytic reactions such as hydroboration and hydrosilation. Piers' contributions have led to various awards highlighting his impact in the field, including the Ludvig Mond Medal Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Humboldt Research Award.
